19.01.2022 Have you met the Business Without Borders Chair and Founder Dominique Elliott? Dominique founded BWB in 2014, Launching the Swinburne chapter of the organisat...ion In November with Presenters such as World Visions CEO Tim Costello, Victorian Grants Commissioner Julie Eisenbise and others. Since this time, BWB has grown to offer social consultancy services to over 60 Not for profit and industry organisations, delivering projects to create sustainable social change and enhancing social prosperity. 4 years later, Dominique has successfully led over 700 students as both Chair and Manager of BWB, created over 100 new industry relationship for Swinburne University and helped over 98% of her team to successfully find employment after graduation. Dominique background is in Law, government, corporate and not for profit organisations and she has used her extensive experience to produce emerging professionals and leaders for the University for the past 6 years. She has extensive experience developing and managing engagement programs, founded Women In Engineering and Aviation, Women In Business, the CEO leadership series as well as other leadership and volunteer programs for the community. She also manages women’s events and networks in rural areas and the east. While she was at Swinburne, she redesigned the Transition and Advancement programs for the Engineering and Business Faculties and delivered the University wide engagement events. This involved working with volunteers, including training developing policy to manage and acknowledge them and working with them. Her passion is to help her teams enhance their skills through training and development to ensure successful delivery of programs and services to achieve organisational goals. She created and hosted the Without Borders Social Impact Forum encouraging leaders from all sectors of industry to embrace CSR and create sustainable social change in their workplaces. Dominique also consults for a wide variety of organisations and in July 2017, she was nominated by the Commonwealth Bank Women in Focus team to take part in their Nynyikay Indigenous leadership tour for women and spent some time with the Yolgnu communities, learning about their culture and life style. Inspired by the way that this community works together to achieve a supportive connected community’s, she continues to work with Indigenous women to help them to develop their own microbusiness and developing income streams to help them gain independence. As a strong advocate against violence, Dominique frequently volunteers with a Women’s refuge and also a local homeless shelter, preparing meals and providing support to the clients. As a foster parent of 15 years, Dominique also work with teams who develop social policy and contribute to the effectiveness of social and welfare legislation while helping not for profits to develop new programs and source funding for their organisations. Without her contribution the Swinburne chapter of BWB would not have been so successful and we are thankful for her leadership, entrepreneurial spirit, and courage to take chances to help others.

07.01.2022 The Swinburne Young Mums program is a fantastic way for young girls who have had their children early, to complete their education. The wonderful staff out at the @Swinburne Croydon campus have not only been supporting these girls to obtain their VCAL qualification but have also been teaching them skills such as card making (depicted in the photos) and #3D printing so that they can build their own micro businesses and earn income at home while caring for their babies. They are seeking volunteers to help out, not only with the programs but also with office support tasks one or two days per week. If you are interested and would like to volunteer please email me at [email protected]

06.01.2022 What an incredible year! The Business Without Borders team has been totally focused on making the world a better place and enhancing social prosperity. They hav...e achieved so much and will be taking a much-deserved break over the Christmas and new year holidays but I am sure that they will once again rise to the challenge in 2017. As Chair, I would like to take a moment to express our gratitude for their tireless hard work and their commitment to make our global community better. In the past 2 years, they have contributed over 28000 hours of their time to the community, raised over $25000, supported community organisations such as Guide Dogs Victoria, Dandenong neighborhood house, Rotary and Boroondara cares, the Alma Doepel, Bridge of Hope and many others. They have also been supporting the Swinburne Young mum's project, our community computers projects and over 40 Kiva Micro finance loans. Many of our team members are graduating this week and while we are sad that they are moving on, we know that they will take the spirit of BWB global citizenship into their new workplaces and continue to make a global difference. A special thank you to the management team and project leaders who have led our members to deliver successful projects and supported their teams in their fantastic work. Congratulations and well done to everyone on the BWB team. You are not the leaders of tomorrow, you have proven that you are the leaders of today and we look forward to seeing the impact that you make in the world with your talents as you continue your journey.
